LINK: New Obamacare Appeal to Be Filed With the Supreme Court: ‘So Unconstitutional in So Many Ways’
A new ACA challenge will be brought up before the SCOTUS, and it is 'un-deniable'...but it won't matter.
The new lawsuit accurately , appropriately points out that all tax-raising legislation MUST be originated in the House of Representatives - the ACA was created in the Senate, and the decision that the monetary fine on those who refused to purchase 'Obamacare' Insurance was technically created by/in the Supreme Court.
(Obama lawyers argued that it was a punitive FINE, not a tax, so as not to break Obama's promise that no new taxes would be included in the ACA...however, Chief Justice Roberts stated a 'FINE' is Un-Constitutional and therefore the government MUST have intended it to be a 'tax', thereby saving the ACA.)
Although accurate, the point is already 'moot'. The 'old' system of insurance in the US has already been destroyed, replaced with the 'ACA'. Attempting to go back will waster hundreds of billions of dollars and throw those now insured through the ACA into chaos, once again having to scramble to get new insurance, and the Insurance companies would have to scramble to recreate insurance policies...again.
....not going to happen.
